Blog Assignment #5

#1 - Celie begins to stop hating Mr.____. She sees how much he loves Shug and how much Shug loves him. Celie and Mr.___ start to enjoy each other and have conversations about life and other things. Shug starts to want to have a love affair with a young man named Germain, which soon ends and Shug returns home to Georgia. Sofia returns home and Celie has her working in the store. Nettie finally returns to America, and she, Samuel, Olivia, Adam, and Tashi arrive at Celie’s house and the sisters are very happy to see each other. The whole family is together on the Fourth of July and Celie feels content with her life. 






#2 - I thought that The Color Purple was an interesting book. I've read other books that were like a diary, but nothing like this before. The author did a very well job of making it believable that an uneducated person wrote this. Some of my favorite parts were the few moments when nice things were happening for Celie. Her whole life felt like a nightmare. I would recommend this book, and I already have. It would be a good book to maybe use bits and pieces from in a history class because of the era it was set in. It graphically described the real struggles of a colored black woman in those days.
